The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

Here's another attempt at a generic business card type handout in MS Word format that can be customized. It uses Avery blank business card forms 5881, 8373 and 8869.

I received the following message from David Atkinson, Operation eBook Drop's UK liaiason:

"I have had contact today to say that two staff officers in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, are keen to support the idea. They are willing to push the word out and help with validating troop email requests. I should have the nuts and bolts of this set up soon and hopefully we can then add some more UK names to both the troop lists and author lists."

...and 361 members (mostly lurking) on the Operation eBook Drop forum.

I fear that I'm guilty of lurking. I'm a very introverted and shy author...though to be fair, I lurked over here quite a bit too.

An email I received yesterday from a new militatry member:

"Thanks!  I've already received a little over 50 emails from authors!

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."  Psalm 133

Given the number of participating authors at an average of 3 books per author (some hav one - some have a dozen or so) and given the 90 military points of light (troops), I estimate that Operation eBook Drop has DROPPED 88,000 eBook coupons. I don;t think it's less, but it probably is more. That's a helluva a lot of books offered out there.

Hi Ed - I am getting into this kind of late. Can you please direct me to the instructions on how to offer my title to the troops?

I looked around the website and some of the pages here but I haven't had enough coffee to be patient.  Smiley
